Prison Education and its professionals - The portrait of a prison educator

EIS-ALP (European Induction Support for Adult Learning Professionals) partnership is happy to announce the final project conference to take place in Timisoara, Romania on the 24th of February 2016. The event will be under the coordination of the Centre for Promoting Lifelong learning, Romania, leader of EISALP Project.

At the conference we will present the partnership and developed tools, but the focus will be on 4 interactive round tables debating major challenges faced when delivering prison education:

what is the “portrait” of the educator equipped to deliver education in prison;

how the rules and regulations of the prison setting affect the quality of the education act

delivering in a communication “challenged” environment and for communication “challenged” beneficiaries;

building a team focused on education in a prison environment.

The conference will be followed by two day training for educators, introducing them to the prison learning concept, using 4 of the piloted modules developed within the EISALP project.
